False IP Block - Bug

Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Edited 2 years, 7 months ago) by Silent_Cities

Hey! I've been having a bug where comments on character profiles say users have IP blocked me; however, I can still access the person's profile and characters, as well as message them! And once I disconnect and reconnect to my data, I'm able to see their comment. Not sure what could be causing this, or whether anything can be done about it, but thought it would be worth reporting!

Also, it's only happened when I'm on my mobile data so far, if that helps narrow the cause down at all!

^ "Unblocked" after reconnecting

^ First time this happened, the person confirmed they never blocked me

I'd love to know if this is happening to anyone else!

It's a common issue because of rotating IPs amongst common ISPs (AT&T, Sprint, Comcast, etc) and expect to see it fairly often. IP blocking is a very weak tactic because of this issue.

It's still going on, apparently my toyhouse ip blocked MrGreen and now I can't figure out a way to unblock the blocked IP because he isn't blocked on any of my active accounts. 💀

MAMAS_BOY Try resetting any mobile devices and flushing your DNS on your PCs. It should refresh your IPs and hopefully fix the issue
